  • Special Server Maintenance

    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

My first MSFS Paint

IF you avoid the big brands, a lot of the best stuff now is coming out of eastern Europe. Favorite makes of mine (I am also mainly a 1/72 aircraft guy) include A-Model, AZ-Model, ARMA, Eduard, KP, Kora, RS Models, Sword, and Special Hobby. My favorite supplier for good mail service to the US is super-hobby.com. The accuracy, detail, and fit precision of some of these brands is now the best in the industry, and the subject choice is excellent. Even a prolific and demanding builder could build happily all their life without needing to touch a kit from Asia if that was their choice. There are some nice acrylic paint lines coming from that region now also.

Agree. I LOVE Eduard kits. I have built almost every 109 they make in 1/48. I also like ICM (Ukraine) due to their subject matter. I have TONS of models from everywhere. I used to compete with Caz 30 years ago! Imagine that, Caz, THIRTY years ago! I started to stockpile over the past 20 years or so and built up a retirement stash - kits, decals, any add-ons, resin, etc. and put them all on shelves. Now retired, when I grab a box, everything is there. I still buy some currently releases just in case I live longer! LOL! I am also using acrylic lacquer and love it. Being an old lacquer man from years ago, it's good to have that nice, smelly, potent paint again! Been using Hataka Orange, but switching over more to AK paint. And I still mess with the sim naturally.
